What do you think!!

This is my first wood turning project a pair of cherry wood carving mallets. This projects was much more difficult that I anticipated. A light coat of lacquer and they are ready for business. The only modification I may make is to drill the head and add a slug of lead to increase the effectiveness of the striking.

I focused heavily on designing the handle. I not only wanted it comfortable but wanted it to not slip out of your hand. I places an acorn on the end just for fun. The grooves are not only placed in it for decoration but they are very functional.
